WARNING!
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK OR INJURY:
■ Do not operate power tools in explosive
environments (such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust), or use to
pick up flammable or combustible liquids,
Power tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
■ To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
tool has a polarized plug ( one blade is wider
than the other ) and will require the use of a
polarized extension cord. The plug will fit into
a polarized extension cord only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully into the extension
cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still does
not fit, obtain a correct polarized extension
cord. A polarized extension cord will require
the use of a polarized wall outlet. This plug
will fit into the polarized wall outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully into the wall
outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install
the proper wall outlet. Do not change the
equipment plug, extension cord receptacle,
or extension cord plug in any way.
■ Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
■ Don't expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions, store indoors. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric
shock.
■ Do not handle plug or tool with wet hands.
■ Use outdoor extension cords marked W-A,
W, SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A,
SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A. These cords are rated
for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric
shock.
■ Never allow children to operate the
equipment. Never allow adults to operate the
equipment without proper instruction.
■ Wear eye protection with side shields which
is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 as well
as hearing protection when operating this
product.
■ Protect your lungs. Always wear a face or
dust mask if the operation is dusty. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.
■ Use extra care when cleaning on stairs.

■ Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all
body parts away from openings, moving parts

your application. The correct tool will do the
job
better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
■ Do not use on steps, a ladder, roof top,
tree, or other unstable support. Stable footing
on a solid surface enables better control of
the blower in unexpected situations.
